London, ON
Lovelies,
I have been so enjoying my time at home house and puppy-sitting for my parents while they're gallivanting about Europe. Me and Raven the dog have been having the best time ever sleeping in and running through the f-o-r-e-s-t... Besides the relaxing I've been super busy working on exciting new album plans! There will be a new page set up soon with album info that will let you vote on things you'd like to see on the new CD- artwork... instrumentals... traditional tunes... etc... Feedback and ideas from you are always so incredibly appreciated! Everything I've been studying and working on lately seems to be lending itself to the new album. Have been working on a couple Flamenco-influenced tunes and yesterday I just had my first Flamenco dance class (in years and years...) Will be working on learning some fancy footwork to accompany my new songs. Watch out baby! Also, my dance teacher is going to try and hook me up with a Paco de Lucia disciple in Toronto who will seriously whip my playing into shape! I can't believe how intense and challenging it is to play Flamenco. I've had to work HARD. I've been working so hard in fact that this weekend I truly though my brain was gonna blow up. I then forced myself to go out for an entire day of brainless entertainment at the Western Fair, the site of so much fun and excitement from my youth. I had the best day ever. Saw little baby lambs and goats, (I unfortunately missed the pig races) ate french fries for dinner, got to sniff the #1 ribbon award-winning rose (it was true heaven) and got a spray on fake tattoo on my chest of the Chinese character for "treasure". And then I lost five bucks in the casino. (But I'm choosing to see it as energetically investing in my future wealth..) I guess we'll see. Stay tuned in the next couple days for the new album page, and hope to hear from you all soon! And you can check out a couple more photos of me at the Western Fair here.
